SCARF-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 405,783, datedv June 25, 1889. Application filed June 22, 1888. Serial No. 277,892- (Model) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH C. LEIBEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Colorado Springs, in the county of El Paso and State of Colorado, have invented new and useful Improvements in Scarf-Pins, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in scarf-pins.

The object of the present invention is the production of a scarf-pin which will be securely retained in a necktie or scarf and not be liable to work out and thereby become lost, and which will allow the ornamental head of it to lie flat upon the scarf or necktie to prevent turning.

The invention consists in the novel features hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appendedl In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a scarf-pin constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of a necktie, showing the scarf-pin applied in position.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, A designates a scarf-pin, consisting of the pin A and the ornamental head A The pin portion A is provided at its upper end, where it is secured to the ornamented head A, with an outward or backward bend a, which is approximately U-shaped and which will successfully prevent the pin working out of a necktie or scarf B and thereby becominglost. The U-shaped bend is curved out of the general plane of the pin, and the rest of the pin is straight and lies in the same plane, and the rear face of the ornamental head lies approximately in the same plane as the lower portion of the pin.

Besides securely retaining the scarfpin A in the necktie B, the bend a, formed in the upper end of the pin A, allows the ornamental head to lie flat upon the necktie or scarf and present a much neater appearance than would he were the ornament to stand out from the necktie or scarf, as it would then be liable to turn upon one side and to catch more readily in anything brushing against it.

To facilitate the insertion of the pin into a necktie or scarf, the lower leg at of the U- shaped bend is inclined downward toward the body of the pin. Further, to secure the retention of the scarf-pin A in a, necktie or scarf, the pin portion A may be twisted in the usual 5 5 manner; but this is not essential, and I desire it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise details of construction herein shown and described, as I may, without departing from the spirit of the invention, make 6 0 any minor changes therein.

From the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings it will clearly be seen that scarf-pins constructed in accordance with this invention will be securely retained in place, and that the ornamental head will lie flat upon the necktie or scarf and not turn to one side.

Having thus described the invention, I claim 1. A scarf-pin provided back of the ornamental head with a bend the lower leg of which is inclined downward, whereby the pin may be inserted in a scarf, the ornamental head being caused to lie flat upon said scarf, substantially as described.

2. A scarf-pin having the portion of the pin opposite the ornamental head bent back out of the plane of the portion below it, but parallel thereto, and connected therewith by the inclined part 0, whereby the rear face of the ornamental head will lie approximately in the plane of the portion of the pin below it, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOSEPH C. LEIBEL.
